Don stood out because he kept it simple and grounded. You could tell it is a small business shop where pride still matters. He gave practical answers, stayed consistent on the details, and didn’t let it turn into a drawn out ordeal.

This shop is hands down the best shop I’ve ever used… these guys are very good at what they do, very honest and never try to take advantage of you. Never had a bad experience and I’ve been going there for years! Best part about it is I can walk home after I drop my truck off because they’re practically my neighbors! If you’re concerned about the quality of work or the honesty… Don't be!

Incredible garage. Wonderfully friendly and highly knowledgeable mechanics in the old school tradition. Prices are more than fair & they have the trust & experience to ensure you get what you need, what's best for you. Good number of racers are also on staff.

This shop is a hidden Erie gem. My wife and I have been using Schell-Baroth for many years and have been 100 percent satisfied every time we use them. Molly, the office manager, is the engine that keeps this place moving. She is awesome. Jim, Don, & the team in the back know how to repair vehicles -- HONESTLY and REASONABLY. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I have used this location for 25 years. They complete my oil changes and all of my other maintenance. They inspect any new vehicle I am purchasing (they have saved me from a few junkers in my history). All around a great place. They are NOT the cheapest and they do not pretend to be. They stand behind their work and for a car that should be much more important than price!

This review solely reflects the RECEPTIONIST! She’s rude. Her job is to answer phones and talk to paying customers, emphasize “paying”… frustrating enough having car issues but, having to deal with a rude receptionist is just ridiculous. The mechanics are kinda and knowledgeable, I give them 5 stars.

Good, honest service. Hard to find that anymore. I have trusted Schell-Baroth with all my automobile needs since the day I first went there. Friendly folks who will take the time to talk to you and show you what's wrong and tell you the options you have. Would never go anywhere else. UPDATE: We have been taking all our vehicles here now for over 10 yrs. Would never go anyplace else!!

have been going there for 22 years now. honest ,reliable, and prompt. i hate spending my hard earned money on car repairs! but it must be done at times. they are no cheaper or expensive than other places, but they are much busier! therefore, better. work done right first time everytime! also an excellent full service body shop and will deal with your insurance company for you. PLUS Linda always has candy on her desk!

Been going here for 23 years. Never once questioned a bill and never had to. Always honest, always more than fair, always prompt and always do everything they can to accommodate you, not to mention very reliable work. I never hesitate in referring them to others.

Never a bad experience. They do honest business at a fair price and you walk away feeling comfortable with any work done. They’ve continued to earn my business for a few years now and I don’t see that changing.

Can't believe how good the service is! Each time I take my car there the service is amazing! Honest and fair. My dad is a mechanic and even he was impressed by their work and how they treat their customers.

I was dropping off a package as a Lyft delivery driver and called to let them know I had arrived but that my carpal tunnel was acting up today and I didn’t want to take a chance off dropping the items and causing any damage. Instead of being understanding to a medical condition I was told by the lady that if I can’t perform the job I shouldn’t have accepted it. Mind you, it’s just delivering it and the auto parts place where I picked it up was understanding and had no problem walking the few steps to drop it in the car that I had purposely parked close to the door since I didn’t want to potentially cause any damage. So I went and physically dropped off the items at this garage. The woman picked them up and said they aren’t heavy. She is evidently not a licensed medical professional and making a judgement call on an actual medical condition is completely unprofessional. I’ve never gone here for auto repairs, but after an experience with a representative that disregards a medical condition and is insulting, I highly recommend going elsewhere so there is no concern about the interaction you will get.

The receptionist and mechanics at Schell Baroth are all very friendly and professional. They talk to you in a kind way and are quick to help out in any way they can, including looking for deals on parts or recommending other places where you can get your car serviced cheaper. 10/10 recommend for a hassle free experience.

I got 4 rims and winter tires installed for a very reasonable price. 2nd time I have been here. They do very good work and I will be returning.

I seriously dont know how they have gotten such high reviews. All we have gotten is excuses and the run around as far as when our vehicle will be done. I do not recommend them at all. Maybe for a small job they are good but for a major repair they are very slow. So disappointed.

You’re receptionist was extremely rude and unfriendly. She would snap if I asked a question and made it seem like she couldn’t get off the phone any faster. She told me to drop my car off on a Thursday but never told us a time. When we dropped the car off she snapped at me and said I was late even though she did not tell me a specific time, then refused to take my car in. She’s the problem with the place.

Thought I found a fair, competent and reputable auto service station. Just had tires installed today (at Flynns Tires) and was informed that the center caps on my durango had been broken and glued back on. Was also informed that 3 decorative lug nuts had been changed to regular nuts. The aluminum wheels are scratched and gouged As though beaten with a wrench.The only sevice previously done was by Shell and Baroth when they replaced the ball joints and front brakes. I've spent thousands of dollars at this shop and am very disappointed. What happened that you would treat a valued customer like this ?
